Glow in the Dark Eggs

We had a very relaxing Easter Sunday. Went to church, grabbed some lunch and then came home to relax. We kept busy doing little projects around the house, fishing at the pond, playing kickball with all the neighbor kiddos, and relaxing till dark out on the sidewalk with great neighbors.

As my boys get older (now 7 and to-be 16 this week) coloring eggs and hunting them are not the most exciting activities anymore. I found the idea on Pinterest to do glow in the dark eggs (plastic eggs filled with glow in the dark bracelets) and it was perfect. Why didn't I think of this??

 The boys had a small egg hunt in the house when it was dark. I think they were pretty awesome, myself....

Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Book Page Wreath and Eggs

So I saw this awesome wreath on tatertots and jello.

Gotta have one!

 And she actually has an awesome tutorial on exactly how to do it.

Yea!

So I grabbed a book from the dollar store, a circle for the wreath, and some old plastic Easter eggs we had and started modge-podging (yes I used that word that I made up again).

Got the first one finished and was thinking how cool this is going to look.

But it was taking a little longer than I expected.

I figured it would go faster as I go along.

By the 3rd egg I had been sitting there for about 45 minutes.

And I'm thinking, how in the world did this lady seriously do all 50 or so she needed for the wreath. It must have taken her a week. Either that or I'm in serious need of some modge podging skills.

Needless to say, I ended up with 6 eggs completed in total.

They are awesome and I love them, but I still didn't get the wreath I wanted. :(
So, I put them in a jar...
Still cute, but certainly not a wreath.

 

Then I saw this idea here.

 Love it!!

Ok, I can surely roll up paper and glue it on right?

Surely I can!

And I'm off to work on my wreath.....
